Best exhaust for 5.0

Hey all, the time has come in my truck's life, that the whole exhaust from the headers back to the chrome tips need to be replaced. I've been looking at Flowmaster muffler's, but I'm afraid it'll be too quiet. I want noise, but not any quieter then what it currently is, I have no idea what kind is currently on there as I bought it with a modified cat back system with one cat already removed. So, I need help finding something that's good, not constricting, and noisy. I don't know good prices for exhausts either as this is my first truck and car mechanic's wasn't my forte before buying my truck. Also, will I have to by new tips as the current one's are welded to the super rusty tail pipe. Here's a pic just for giggles

If you use the search function you will find 100s of threads asking the same question.

This question is brought up every 3 days.

Go under the truck and see what muffler is on it now.
Go with a dynomax bullet if you want loud and non constricting.

Pacesetter headers,Magnaflow high flow cat and y-pipe, cherry bomb extream singl in dual out. 22"by 3" round angle cut tips out the back. by far the best sound u can get in my book.

Ive tried everything from true duals with glasspacks to single with a 40 flowbasterd dumped infront of the rear tire. save urself the money and go single to duals.

The search option is great but everytime i use it i have to weed through the post that only have 3 or 4 replies stating to use the search feature.

Good luck and if u need a little ear candy look at you tube to figure out the sound you might like.

I have stock manifolds and stock front cat. High flow Magnaflow rear cat. 2.5" pipe. No muffler. I'm on Youtube as username j1nx93. I want to take my front cat off and if it's too loud I'll use a cherry bomb or glass pack
